[Ubuntu Server 11.10]Problem with mail server
Dear Sirs and Madams!
I've setup mail server with Postfix+Dovecot combination. Now, from linux bash shell (logged on to server from Windows 7 Ultimate via putty) I can receive and send email without problems. Then I installed on Windows 7 machine Mozilla Thunderbird and when I try to send email to some gmail account, I get following error (from Mozilla Thunderbird): Quote:

Well, I did and I still get error (this one is from server log):

What do you have in your "smtpd_recipient_restrictions"? This is the block that determines who is allowed to send. Normally it contains things like "permit_sasl_authenticated" and "permit_mynetworks", either of wich could be used to authenticate your Thunderbird client. According to the error message:

Ok, I've setup Mozilla account server settings from "mail.my-domain.com" to "192.168.100.101" which is LAN server's address and I can send email. But, if I return from google to newly created email, I get it on server via "mail" command, but in Thunderbird there is no new email. Why??

I am using dovecot, and my /etc/dovecot.conf is:
Code:
protocols = pop3 pop3s imap imaps |
The configuration looks correct, meaning Dovecot should be able to find the mailboxes (see the following link). What are you using for your delivery agent in Postfix? Are you using Dovecot delivery, which would be configured in both main.cf and master.cf? The reason for using Dovecot delivery is that Dovecot creates indexes of what messages are stored where. I found this page gives a pretty good explaination of this. In particular please check the Postfix section, which will go into detail about how to configure Dovecot + Postfix with local mailboxes.

No, your not using Dovecot for your delivery agent. If you were, master.cf would have a line like the following:
Code:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $(recipient) |
